Inventor(s) include Aakriti Khatri; Aaravya Jaiswal; Karnica Sarma; Mayank Singh; Agnik Biswas; Likitha R; and Dr. Abhijith H V.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention relates to a system for detecting food spoilage. Specifically, it involves a software-based prototype that mimics sensor-driven observation of food quality metrics. Food spoilage poses significant challenges to food safety, public health, and economic stability. It is often caused by microbial growth, chemical breakdown, and poor storage conditions, which lead to a decline in quality and harmful gas emissions. Timely detection of spoilage factors is essential to reduce food-related illnesses and minimize waste. The described system features a web-based application that replicates sensor inputs related to gas concentration, temperature, and humidity, which are key indicators of food deterioration. The simulated data is processed with threshold-based algorithms to evaluate the freshness of food products. Based on the analyzed parameters, the system categorizes the food condition into groups such as Fresh, Warning, and Spoiled. The findings are presented through a user interface that uses visual cues."
